1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation), a distinctive post-translational modification (PTM), is ubiquitously present in numerous nuclear and mitochondrial proteins. The emerging role of O-GlcNAcylation is increasingly recognized for its involvement in various diseases. However, its role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been explored. This study was aimed to explore the neuroprotection of O-GlcNAcylation in both in vivo and in vitro TBI models. Our results revealed that the levels of O-GlcNAcylation were increased after TBI. Up-regulation of O-GlcNAcylation by Thiamet G (TMG) provided neuroprotection after TBI. Moreover, TMG inhibited TBI-triggered blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage. Furthermore, TMG alleviated apoptosis and ferroptosis caused by TBI. Besides, TMG activated mitophagy after TBI, and the neuroprotection of TMG was attenuated when mitophagy was inhibited. Importantly, TMG also attenuated cell death, decreased apoptosis and ferroptosis, and activated mitophagy after TBI in vitro. Taken together, our data provided the first evidence that O-GlcNAcylation played a crucial role in TBI by activation of mitophagy.
